Top 10 Moments Of Alex Rodriguez’s New York Yankees Career
6. Passing Willie Mays
A-Rod hit the 661st home run of his career off Baltimore Orioles’ pitcher Chris Tillman on May 8th of 2015. The blast broke a 2-2 tie in an eventual Yankee victory.
That blast pushed him ahead of Willie Mays on baseball’s all-time home run list.
Next up? Babe Ruth (714) who is third on the list, Hank Aaron (755) who stands in second place, and Barry Bonds (762)who is number one.
Rodriguez probably won’t get to Aaron or Bonds, but it’s very likely he’ll surpass Ruth in 2016.
